Psalms 94:21

19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.

20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?

They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.

23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
